Mutations in cdsA and pgsA Correlate with Daptomycin Resistance in Streptococcus mitis and S. oralis
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2018 We investigated the ability of several recent clinical viridans group streptococci (VGS) bloodstream isolates (Streptococcus mitis/S. oralis subgroup) from daptomycin (DAP)-naive patients to develop DAP resistance in vitro.

Bacterial meningitis due to the Streptococcus mitis group in children with cerebrospinal fluid leak [PDF]
IDCases, 2022 The Streptococcus mitis group constitutes a part of the oral flora in humans and has been reported to cause infective endocarditis, brain abscesses, sepsis, pneumonia, and peritonitis. However, the S. mitis group rarely causes meningitis in children.
